Academy of Finland’s September 2018 call text out now
The Academy of Finland today published the call text for the upcoming September 2018 call. The call text is available in English, Finnish and Swedish.Applications can be submitted in the Academy’s online services as of Monday 10 September. The call closes on Monday 1 October at 16.15 local Finnish time.
During the summer, we will be preparing a few technical changes to simplify the application process.The technical instructions will be supplemented in August so that they are ready when the call opens on 10 September.You can follow the update status at www.aka.fi/whatsnew.
New research council structure
The Academy of Finland is reforming its research council structure. In the September 2018 call, applications may be submitted to one of three research councils.The three research councils as of 1 January 2019 are: the Research Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment, the Research Council for Culture and Society, and the Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering.
The research councils’ research fields and a research field classification are available on our website.When deciding on the most suitable research council, it is best that you look at the research councils’ research fields from a broad perspective. Also, it is good to remember that you will still be able to choose five research fields for your application when you are submitting it in the online services.
We’re improving the structure of the research plan
We have reorganised the structure of the research plan based on feedback from applicants and reviewers.The new structure better corresponds to the review questions and supports the overall review.From now on, both the research plan and the list of publications are filled in on a separate tab in the online application form.
Decisions in two stages
The Academy has implemented experiments in some funding opportunities where the review panels have been asked to both rate and rank the applications assigned to them.The research councils have used this information to support their decisions.We are now extending this experiment to the September 2018 call.The research councils’ power of decision will not change.
The decisions on applications for Academy Project, Academy Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher funding submitted in the September 2018 call will be made in two stages.First, applications that have received rating 1–4 in the review will receive a negative decision at the discretion of the research council concerned.This means that these applicants will be notified of the decision earlier than before.The rest of the applications will be processed at the second stage.

-Academy Project funding, all research fields

Uneven terrain helps joggers detach from everyday life4.7.2018 10:27 | Tiedote
Physical sensations are accentuated when running in different environments. A research project funded by the Academy of Finland found that while running on forest trails the challenges caused by the uneven terrain help joggers detach from everyday life. Twists and bumps on the trail require positive concentration from joggers, which prevents them from worrying about other things. Moreover, trail running generates a positive connection with nature as the jogger focuses on various rocks, branches and other natural objects. On the other hand, running on steady terrain enables joggers to find a state of mind that can either be rather void of thought or allow them to solve everyday problems without active effort.
Epätasainen maasto auttaa juoksijaa irtautumaan arjesta4.7.2018 10:27 | Tiedote
Juoksijan fyysiset tuntemukset vaihtelevat erilaisissa ympäristöissä juostessa. Uuden tutkimuksen mukaan metsäpolkuja pitkin juostessa alustan epätasaisuuden tuomat haasteet auttavat lenkkeilijää irtautumaan arjesta tehokkaasti. Polkujen epätasainen alusta vaatii myönteisellä tavalla juoksijan keskittymistä, minkä vuoksi ajatukset eivät eksy arjen huoliin.
